Tabula Rasa Delayed

An update by Executive Producer (and game design legend) Richard Garriott on the official Tabula Rasa website reveals that the ambitious MMORPG will not make a 2004 release as initially estimated.

"The game won't be out this winter and likely won't be ready for some months beyond that," writes Garriott. "The good news is that we continue to be committed to launching Tabula Rasa only when it is ready."

Garriott explains that the delay is due to "modifications and refinements" that Destination Games sees as necessary. Rather than rush the title out to meet a date, Garriott and team want to offer the best gaming experience they can.

While we're sorry we won't see Tabula Rasa as soon as expected, the flurry of other high-profile titles this holiday season is enough to keep most of us busy, meaning the time should fly by as we finally approach Tabula's release.
